But what makes FE11H5 and FE12H2 more viable is that every map (bar the prologue and that one map in 12 which is a joke anyway) has a seize objective and you can warpskip chapters that seem too intimidating for the purposes of 0% growths. Awakening relies on you proccing stats even moreso than FE12 and the abundance of combat-heavy maps doesn't help in that regard. Though I can't actually give an expert opinion on whether a 0% growths run of Hard is reliably executable or not.

C16 - 3/110 Moulder starts fulfilling his warping destiny. Franz was given the Boots and he carried Eirika, as per usual. C17 - 2/112 Promoted Eirika and Ephraim. Would be 1 turn if Moulder had 1 more range :( C18 - 7/119 Gerik and Innes got a C support, oddly enough. L'Arachel reached C staves so that she can use Hammerne later. C19 - 1/120 L'Arachel torched the way, Moulder warped Franz and he finished the job with a Killer Lance. C20 - 3/123 Moulder might be super-blessed but his warp range is still a pain to work with. That, and I have no fliers. Final - 2+1/126 Garm!Ross weakened Lyon, Franz got the bosskill with a Spear. I again blame Moulder's range for the extra turn. And he procced mag here yet again, just to taunt me I'm sure. Franz, Ross, Ephraim, Ewan and Myrrh defeated DK. Ewan consequently died since I didn't bother to rig a miss on Fomortiis, but who cares.

C10 - 6/71 I think 5 turns is possible, but I welcome the Moulder exp I got this way. Ross also started to gain some speed, thankfully. C11 - 7/78 Instapromoted Gerik to Ranger. Moulder spammed Torch and reached A staves, yay. C12 - 10/88 More rout chapters ;_; Promoted Ross to Berserker before the chapter. C13 - 2/90 Towered Ewan to Mage level 5. Ross and Franz teamed up to kill the boss. C14 - 8/98 Took a while to figure out since I didn't have any Door Keys, thankfully the Unlock staff is a thing. Franz ferried Eirika to the throne, 2RKOed Carlyle with Silver Lance. Ewan and Innes picked off the enemies on Franz's way over the wall. Got the Energy & Guiding Rings. C15 - 9/107 Eww. Leveled Moulder to 10 and promoted to Bishop. Ewan was also promoted to Mage Knight. Moulder's mag was way above his average to begin with but I also gave him the 2 Energy Rings. Franz took on Caellach and Ross killed Valter.

The obvious one is Archanea, but I always get way too absorbed into the lore of Jugdral whenever I start playing 4/5 so I'll tick that one as well. Tellius is another one I'm pretty fond of, and the rest I'm mostly indifferent to.

C7 - 6/48 Ross rescuedropped Franz over the river to kill the enemies there. IIRC Eirika was also ferried by Ross. C8 - 6/54 Could've gotten 5 turns, but with the stats I have it would've necessitated way too much rigging (double crits on Tirado) for my liking. Franz ferried Eirika to the throne [spoiler=Stats] Eirika (12.13) 22hp/7str/14skl/13spd/14lck/6def/4res Franz (15/1.90) 36hp/13str/12skl/16spd/11lck/12def/2res Moulder (4.70) 21hp/5mag/7skl/9spd/1lck/3def/5res Ross (10/5.85) 27hp/15str/9skl/6spd/13lck/8def/3res C9 - 11/65 Franz ran for Binks and retrieved the Dracoshield.

FE12 Lunatic/Reverse stays the most consistently difficult, I'd say. FE6HM, FE11H5 and FE13 Lunatic are all pretty brutal in the beginning but loosen up significantly before long.

Alright, so I managed to finish the run! C27 7/107 I'm generally really bad at rout chapters, I was legitimately surprised to get even this low. C28 15/122 Moar exp. C29 6/128 My weapon usages were really low so I had to make a slight detour with Fiora to buy Pent some Elfires asap. Might have been able to save a turn otherwise, I don't know. Still, even though the tc is comparatively bad I'm frankly satisfied to achieve even that, the chapter being a rather massive rout map. C30 5/133 Wish I had rigged mag for Pent, could have saved a turn with slightly more warp range. C31 11/144 Exp again. C31x 5/149 Tons of shopping, Vaida and Fiora also made use of the arena. C32 5/154 Regrettably I had no decent ferry for Hector so I had to use the boots on him earlier. Pent warped him around and he Killer Axe'd Limstella on turn 4 PP and EP. C32x 1/155 Killer Axe!Hector. Final 3+1/159 The first part was really impulsive and not very reliable. Pent warped Athos to kill Nergal with a Luna crit. The second was Athos doing what Athos do.

The overall tcs turned out kind of bad considering I had the team to probably pull off way faster clears, but for being my first draft, I'm satisfied with it.

Prologue 2/2 Standard str/spd/lck level. C1 5/7 Eirika ran for the throne, Franz picked off some enemies. [spoiler=Stats] Eirika (4.46) 18hp/5str/10skl/11spd/8lck/5def/1res Franz (2.07) 21hp/8str/5skl/8spd/2lck/6def/1res C2 5/12 Sadly couldn't visit any of the villages, but I needed to give Ross some exp. Garcia soloed the right side.

Essentially the strat was Franz taking out a few enemies, rescuing Eirika and dropping her next to the boss. Moulder retrieved the Dracoshield.

The two first FE Avatars (I'll reserve judgement on Kamui for later) and Miriel Ronaldo from Devil Survivor 2 Most things voiced by Erin Fitzgerald (though she herself isn't to blame for that) Can't think of anyone else off the top of my head.

I'd genuinely forgotten about the series in the time without any news whatsoever, haha. I'm a bit on the fence whether to get the Vita or 3DS version when the time for that comes, though. I played VLR on the 3DS but have since also come to own a Vita, can anyone provide any insight wrt this?

After seeing all this I genuinely feel bad for the vitriol I've had for Kozaki when he clearly wasn't to blame, but I still think he shouldn't stay for much longer. Every FE has been different from the other, and I'm confident they desperately need some fresh faces all across the development staff to keep that trend going, unless they really want to make the next game FE13-3.

I think is Ys Eternal was 1998, which was later rereleased as Ys Complete in 2001 and again as Ys Chronicles+ in 2013 through Steam. Did the bug look like this? Apparently it can happen in the later releases as well, though I've never had it happen myself.

C23 - 4/83 The bosses are troublesome, but I didn't have to rig at all, oddly enough. At the end of turn 3 EP, only one enemy dracoknight lived with 6HP remaining, so if I didn't want to grab Filla's Might and wanted to rig it, 3 turns would be achievable. Anyhow, promoted Raven (should have done this earlier) and Rescuedropped him left towards Paul with Fiora. Kent took all the enemies on the grassy portion, Fiora and Dorcas also took out a few. Pent took care of Jasmine and the upper enemies. Only got Filla's Might. Hector recruited Hawkeye to get the Killer Axe. [spoiler=Stats] Hector (20.--) 34hp/18str/13skl/15spd/8lck/16def/4res Dorcas (2.75) 44hp/14str/14skl/10spd/6lck/8def/5res Kent (8.55) 35hp/16str/18skl/14spd/5lck/14def/6res Raven (2.55) 35hp/13str/14skl/19spd/6lck/7def/6res Fiora (11.40) 24hp/10str/15skl/16spd/8lck/7def/8res Ninian (1.82) base C24 - 2/85 Fiora used the torch, Kent killed the monk and after Ninian's dance went to the fort to lure Lloyd and counter with Short Spear. Raven also weakened him a little, and Fiora counterchipped a Dracoknight and got the bosskill. Florina got the Earth Seal with Ninian's help. Didn't bother to recruit Wallace. [spoiler=Stats] Hector (20.--) 34hp/18str/13skl/15spd/8lck/16def/4res Dorcas (2.75) 44hp/14str/14skl/10spd/6lck/8def/5res Kent (9.57) 36hp/17str/18skl/15spd/5lck/14def/6res Raven (2.68) 35hp/13str/14skl/19spd/6lck/7def/6res Fiora (12.49) 24hp/11str/15skl/16spd/8lck/7def/8res Ninian (2.02) 15hp/0str/0skl/13spd/11lck/5def/5res C25 - 4/89 Promoted Fiora. I'm glad Raven can use Steel Axes from the get-go, this wouldn't have worked otherwise. Fiora rescuedropped Kent to the right over the lake. Dorcas rescued Ninian to protect her from the pegs. Hector and Raven moved towards Pascal's position. Fiora took on the pirates with an Iron Sword. Raven had to take out lots of enemies to ensure only 1 cavalier (the fort reinforcement) would obstruct the way to the gate. He needed the Steel Axe to ORKO them and he also had to chug down an Elixir to survive. Hector took out the cav on the way and everyone got to their respective tiles on turn 4.

Not that I know of. I only found out about them thanks to Celice and have never seen anyone talk about them since. Most of the games function fine on KEmulator and are fairly intuitive to play even if you don't know Russian, so trying any of them out is an option.

There are also 7 Russian mobile Fire Emblem games, haha. These production values seem astronomical in comparison.

@PanneKnight Can undrafted units rescue drafted/free units though? It's not explicitly stated as forbidden but that's how I always interpreted it. Not all that big of a deal but I want to clarify it for myself for future reference.
